We are going very basic 4-2-5 this week. Very basic. If I blitz it is coming from the CB or S position. Gallimore and Hill start in the inside. I know Gallimore is not a 1 but it doesn’t matter because Poe and Woods are not doing the job. Gregory and Smith are starting on the outside. Anae gets next up snaps. Lawrence gets 33% of the snaps unless he shows a pulse. I am scouring the LBs in the league. Thomas and Gifford are my starters. Smith is a healthy scratch. I don’t care if I have to put Wilson at LB Smith is not suiting up. Diggs, Brown, Carr, Wilson, and Lewis are my starting secondary. Woods is deep, deep, deep on the bench. Griffen will work at the 3 on some passing downs. Worley and Crawford get a few snaps as well. I run base 85pct of the plays. I force Jones to stay in the pocket and be accurate. I pray Smith and Gregory can get home.
Simple, simple, simple.
54 is a permanent healthy scratch if the LBs show a pulse and I am looking every week for guys that can help.
Thoughts?
- i thought it was ridiculous to come into the season so LB thin... with both LVE/Sean hurt there is no suitable backups, not even one decent enough
to bench Jaylon ..Joe thomas would have to take over the complex signals - but reality is these already confused mishandling DC is not gonna bench
Jaylon, they will put up with his mishap game until revaluation at season's end.
- I'm not starting Gallimore but he begins to get some of Crawford's rotational snaps and reps,
i don't get Tomsula having Poe in on these long passing downs, ..he cannot even get off the line. Crawford continues to get knock all over the field
and this is the $9 million dollar man. ..Utterly Stupid !!
- I'd be forced to start Antwann Woods to start at 1 tech with Gallimore seeing spot time at both 3 tech and 1 tech. Woods wears down fast if he
has to start and he's not truly a rugged run stuffer.
Gally is more of a pass rusher than run stopper but it's time to add others than continue to see Crawford rocked left & right.
- We need to go on the street for an immediate vet FA at 1 tech.. and then cut Poe. He's cooked.-He's a liability now and he just doesn't
have anything left in him.
- i'm also getting Bradlee Anae more into Armstrong's reps
3 tech - Hill
1 tech - Woods (until we find better)
LDE - Dlaw
RDE - Aldon Smith
backup RDE - Griffin
backups at both 3 tech/1 tech - Neville Gallimore/Crawford
backup LDE - Bradlee Anae/ Armstrong
